• In coverage of the Swedish election, we incorrectly stated that no non-socialist leader had ever been re-elected in the country. The 1976 and 1979 elections were both won by Thorbjörn Fälldin and the Centre party (Sweden's far right wins seats for first time, 20 September, page 16). We also suggested that the rightwing Danish People's party is in power in Denmark. It is not. The Danish Conservative People's party and the Danish Liberal party form the government. We also reported that David von Arnold, a Sweden Democrat party candidate, had been attacked by two masked men who carved a swastika in his forehead. A doctor's report released later by Swedish police suggests the wound may have been self-inflicted (A far-right party could hold the balance of power, 18 September, page 14 Weekend).
